Cali Animal Activists Vandalize Zoo, Freeing Several Animals

There is no mistaking my disdain for groups such as PETA, the People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals.

The group likens themselves to some sort of freedom-fighting gang of activists, who are concerned only about the emotional state of animals and not at all for their wellbeing.

You see, PETA preys on young people by laying into the guilt factor of harvesting animals. Sure, the practice itself isn’t for everyone, but there is no doubt that we’ve had long enough to get it right. Also, as Ted Nugent expertly explained on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, producing all of those vegetables is a sure way to kill animals as well.

The owners of a California animal sanctuary said vandals broke in and cut through fences, allowing 16 animals — including zebras and sheep — to wander free.

Agnes Barrelet, owner and director of the Children’s Nature Retreat in Alpine, said someone broke into the facility early Sunday morning and cut through enclosure fences, allowing animals including cattle, zebras, donkeys and sheep to wander the grounds.

While the activists may have felt as though they were doing right by the animals, simple logic would refute that.

You see, keeping these animals healthy is in the best interest of the retreat, meaning that the fencing and separation of these specimens was conducive to their continued health. By eliminating this precaution, the vandals could have caused serious harm to the animals themselves.

Barrelet believes that she knows who did it.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office is investigating. Barrelet said she suspects a former employee was behind the vandalism.

“I think the person that did it knew this place,” Barrelet told KFMB-TV.

Luckily, the only injuries that occurred in the incident were minor, with all of the animals expected to fully recover.

Clandestine Cabal Seeks to Hide Info in Jeffrey Epstein Case

In the pantheon of political pop culture, Jefferey Epstein is a bit of a lightning rod of controversy…as he should be. Epstein, who has already settled a lawsuit alleging him of sexually trafficking underage girls, is now fighting to keep some of the secrets of that case under wraps after an earlier adjudication was set to unseal the files. Epstein, who has been linked to some of America’s most powerful politicians and personalities, now has some reinforcements in his quest to keep his crimes quiet. Two mystery litigants citing privacy concerns are making a last-ditch bid to keep secret some details in a lawsuit stemming from wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein’s history of paying underage girls for sex. Just prior to a court-imposed deadline Tuesday, two anonymous individuals surfaced to object to the unsealing of a key lower-court ruling in the case, as well as various submissions by the parties. Both people filed their complaints in the New York-based 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, which is overseeing the case. The two people said they could face unwarranted speculation and embarrassment if the court makes public records from the suit, in which Virginia Giuffre, an alleged Epstein victim, accused longtime Epstein friend Ghislaine Maxwell of engaging in sex trafficking by facilitating his sexual encounters with teenage girls. Maxwell has denied the charges. Speculation over the identities of the concerned parties has run rampant online, given how well connected Epstein is. [Bill] Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States, was friends with Epstein and often flew on his plane and visited him on his island. Epstein donated to the Clinton Foundation and various Democratic causes and candidates. However, there has been no evidence that he was involved with underage sex activities.

Reports Out of Camp Biden Say A Flag-Burning Running Mate is In The Works

Joe Biden is an odd bird, there’s no doubt about it, but that hasn’t stopped the democrats from being concerned over his physical and fiscal attributes on the eve of his long-coming 2020 presidential announcement. Biden, who has not officially announced, allowed a well-calculated “slip of the tongue” to be a barometer for himself last week should he go through with it. And with a nearly complete staff underneath him, it’s really a matter of “when” and not “if” we find ourselves with Biden on the ballot. Now, in an oddly early bit of political chess, Biden’s “not yet campaign” is the source of a report that has the former Vice President eyeing up a controversial VP pick of his own. Advisers for former Vice President Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign-in-waiting are debating whether to name failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams as his running mate, a Thursday report says. According to Axios, Biden aides believe adding Abrams to the ticket would send a strong signal to voters that he’s not “just another old white guy.” The outlet said Team Biden isn’t going all-in on picking the rising progressive star just yet, worrying that the move could be received as a “gimmick” and open the former Vice President up to a new line of attacks. The move comes at a time in which the democratic party polling shows that rich, old, white men are the most popular candidates that they have so far. Abrams has long been chastised by patriotic Americans for her involvement in a particular protest. Stacey Abrams on Tuesday defended her presence at a 1992 burning of a Georgia state flag, which contained the Confederate battle flag design, saying at a gubernatorial debate, “I’m a very proud Georgian.” “Twenty-six years ago as a college freshman, I along with many other Georgians — including…
